i drove by a dealership around me last night. they had a IOM with black stripes and polished wheels,rs package and IOM interior, sitting in the show room. it was beautiful! i cant believe they had it as their demo vehicle. it got me excited for mine.

ok so that camaro i saw wasnt the display car. it was for stock. and it has black leather. and ...they are selling it for 10k over sticker. but only because its stock. all presold orders were sold for MSRP. so i guess if theres someone who really wants one but didnt order one, i can see why they marked it up.

gm cant tell them what to sell the car for butthey do have some say in other things the dealership do. those are wasys to get dealerships like this to straiten up. one dealership in canton that closed 2 years ago, got shut down because they wouldnt relocate the dealership closer to the highway. they have been there for over 30 years. they didnt want to move so gm took the brands away from them.
They can do a lot, but they can't tell the dealers what to price the cars at. It's price fixing - which is illegal.

Here - found it:
yup -- punish them -- and then get punished by going to jail due to price fixing. (that's what you would be doing -- )
Let me repeat: You cannot tell a dealer what price he can charge for a new car or truck.. that's why it's called Manufacturer's SUGGESTED retail price. It is federal law. Period. The end. (don't like it? Call your congressman!)
See -- there's usually a good answer for why we do -- or don't do -- something.
Playing devil's advocate -- look at what classic Camaros are bringing on the market -- they're bringing stupid amounts of money -- BECAUSE there is a demand for them.
The same is true for when something DOESN'T sell -- the price drops! New vehicles get bigger incentives -- Used vehicles just have the selling price dropped.
Oh-- and to the fellow that has TWO orders -- you DO realize, don't you - that if we build both of them, one of the ones we build will delay other peoples' Camaros -- right?
